From Magnum. Pretty stuff, be sure to give it plenty of time to unfold after opening. Definitely deserves a decant or at least plenty of air in the glass. Also, make sure its not too cold.
Creme brulee, toasted caramel, baked apple, honey, saffron, baked pear. Definitely influenced by some botrytis, but everything comes together beautifully.

The nose was deep, rich, floral and savory, reminding me of an aged Chinon Blanc with savory herbs, wool, white pepper, ripe peach, crushed stone, and floral undergrowth. On the palate, it was silky, weighty, and smooth, displaying ripe stone fruits, crushed flower petals, and hints of raw honey with perfectly balanced acidity and an incredibly long floral finish. This only got better over time after double decanting at 2pm and pouring over six hours later.

Drank a small pour at a tasting. This had some nice stone fruits, creme brulee and spice.
